Magic Words To Make You Feel Better (Eskimo poem)

SEA GULL
who flaps his wings
over my head
in the blue air,

you GULL up there
dive down
come here
take me with you
in the air!

Wings flash by
my mind’s eye
and I’m up there sailing
in the cool air,
a-a-a-a-a-ah,
in the air.

translated by Knut Rasmussen
